C-Series mining trucks — the 793C in late 1996, and the785C/789C models scheduled for late 1998, additional
enhancements have been made to the entire mining truck product
line to help increase machine life and reduce operating costs.

Designed and manufactured by Caterpillar, the durable and reliable
3500 B-Series engine is the result of proven technology and
performance. The 3500B engine is the heart of the C-Series power
train, providing customers with the lowest cost-per-ton hauling
alternative.
The Cat 3500 B-Series engine offers the following improvements
to the 785 and 789 C-Series mining trucks (these improvementswere made to the 793C when it was introduced in late 1996):
Higher Horsepower Ratings
Horsepower ratings increased by five percent for the 785C
and 789C. Engine power for the 785C increased from 1380 hp
(1029 kW) to 1450 hp (1082 kW), while the 789C increased from
1800 hp (1342 kW) to 1900 hp (1417 kW). Horsepower for the
793C remains unchanged at 2300 hp (1715 kW).
Improved Fuel Injection System
Brake Specific Fuel Consumption has improved 3 to 4 percent as
a result of 22 percent higher fuel injection pressures and shorter
injection cycles. Emissions (NOx) and oil sooting have also been
reduced as a result of these enhancements to the fuel injection
system. Camshafts, cam followers, push rods, rocker arms, and
gear train components were all strengthened in response to these
system changes.

Improved Air System
B-Series engines breathe easier due to the following
improvements:
• Improved inlet and exhaust system for streamlined air flow
through the combustion chamber.• Redesigned Separate Circuit Aftercooler System (SCAC).
• Redesigned camshaft for increased valve lift and improved
inlet/exhaust air exchange.
Electronic Control Module (ECM)
The 3500B’s Electronic Control Module (ECM) stores and selects
the appropriate injection timing and air/fuel ratio mixture for any
operational situation by monitoring sensors throughout the engine,
torque converter, transmission, and operator’s control station. The
ECM has been enhanced with the following additional features:• Exhaust temperature derating for extended component life.
